It's going to display to you lots of ads in the shape of links emerging without any logic on your screen, pop-ups and big banners. You might manage to hide them all, but it's a great inconvenience nevertheless.

They're unable to fight it as the result of strange behavioral algorithms, and cannot interfere with its installation because victims install it manually.

Adware is utilized by swindlers to generate some simulated visits on the web pages they want to promote and to sell the inferior-quality or inappropriate merchandise.

The installer is being uploaded on a popular torrent-tracker. They put it on as many websites as they can, to maximize the number of possible victims.

Hackers pick a decent tool that is well-liked among the regular people and mingle it with 3-4 advertising programs. The package is developed so that you can't see what’s inside until you start installing it. Often, it happens when adware is already installed, and the victim realizes that he has got not what he planned.

When a customer sees an installation file, he believes that it is a good program and gets it.

How to recognize adware when you see one?

You might wonder how you might recognize adware if even an antiviral utility didn't manage to do that, but we will explain this in a moment.

We do not advise you to look into Narrow Setup’s code, but we did some thinking about the ways by which hackers may hide an undesired utility when it stays in front of the user’s face. You need to consider the species of each utility you're installing.

System cleaners are also very suspicious, as well as any pirated software, like PhotoShop, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc. If you refrain from installing these ones, the chances of penetration will drop significantly.
